Bombardier (High Res Patreon Exclusive)
Added 2017-03-01 20:09:05 +0000 UTCThe bombardier was the athlete a dragon's crew, expected to have the acrobatic grace of a gymnast, the strength of a wrestler, and the aim of an expert marksman, as she clambered and swung over a dragon's flanks.
Here, Flight Sargeant Bronwyn Sullivan takes aim with a tracer bomb, which was designed to leave a bright smoke trail upon release and explode with a bright flash. She would then, marking its path, adjust her Bomber dragon's hovering position and then unleash the full payload on the unfortunate target.
Due to their flexibility, dexterity, and courage, the lovemaking skills of Bombardiers became the stuff of legend and innuendo among much of the Corps, and they became much sought-after mating partners among the enlisted men. In reality, they were no better between the sheets than any of their comrades, as gymnastic skills proved to not be quite the difference-maker some had hoped.
I once was witness to a young Private, Gerald Seinfeld, remarking that her performance was, "disappointingly pedestrian," after a dalliance with Sargeant Sullivan. Her dragon, overhearing, roundly thrashed the airman, remarking that he would be well-served not to attempt any future comedy within the dragon's earshot.
